South Korea’s political drama reaches a boiling point as lawmakers prepare for a second vote on impeaching President Yoon Suk-yeol. The motion follows explosive allegations of rebellion tied to his December 3 martial law decree, which critics call a “dangerous power grab.”
Authorities are investigating whether the decree—issued amid protests over economic policies—violated constitutional norms. If passed, the impeachment could deepen instability in Asia’s fourth-largest economy, rattling markets and regional diplomacy.
Young voters, already frustrated by soaring living costs, have flooded social media with hashtags like #YoonOut. Meanwhile, K-drama fans joke the saga rivals Netflix’s House of Cards—but with real-world stakes.
